Next year, your child will have a choice of Music options (Band, Beginning Strings or Choir) as part of their Yr. 6 learning program. There are upcoming opportunities to find out more about these options – please feel free to come along and explore the options available.
1. Beginning String Drive – For Gr 5 Parents
Our MS Beginning String Drive gives your child the opportunity to try out instruments from the stringed family (i.e. Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass).
Date & Time: Saturday, May 17th 2014 between 10.00am and 12.00noon (split by last name)
Last name beginning with A-M – 10:00-11:00am
Last name beginning with N-Z – 11:00-12:00noon.
Location: String Room: 123 in the new Cultural Center Building
Registration Form for this event: See link here
If May 17 is not possible, please select the box under “Session Options” requesting an individual appointment. I will try to schedule everybody before end of May.
Students will be able to try Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass, taking about 15 mins. The session is not required; however, it will help make the school year start a lot smoother. Also note that if your child currently plays one of these instruments, please answer all questions so we can place your child in the appropriate class.

2. Choir Camp 2014
On Saturday, May 17th from 9am-12pm there will be a Choir Camp here in the CC Building, MS Choir Room (Room 140). All students in Grades 5-7 who are interested in singing in Middle School Choir next year are invited. This is a great opportunity for current and new choir members to meet one another, play games, SING and have fun together! I will also be listening to all singers and placing them in their choir classes for next year. If your child can attend, please sign them up on HERE before 3:00pm on Wednesday, May 14th. Signing up is just for my planning purposes so that I can ensure that each singer has a name-tag, folder and goodie bag. Thanks so much! I am looking forward to working with your children!
Coleen Peterson
MS Choir Teacher
